Africa

The 19th New York African Film Festival: “Playing Warriors” – “Katedza’s heroine Nyarai (Kudzai Sevenzo) is no Carrie Bradshaw. She’s cleverer, sharper, and when it comes to the crunch she is strong enough not to need the affirmation of men to feel good about herself. “Men use tradition when it suits them,” she tells her marriage-obsessed mother.” (AFRICA IS A COUNTRY)

Feminists hail explosion in new grassroots groups – “”It’s a really exciting time. We are seeing a real resurgence in feminist activism that is moving from the margins to the mainstream,” said Kat Banyard, founder of UK Feminista and author of The Equality Illusion.” (The Guardian)

Not for a Woman in Amman – “Though Western media has praised Amman’s urban planning as a step towards egalitarianism, highlighting the fact that the ‘Amman 2025’ urban master plan won the 2007 World Leadership Award in Town Planning, a visit to Amman, home to nearly three million people, reveals a starkly different picture.” (IPS)
